SEXUAL PERVERT.
GETS FOUR YEARS IMPRISONMENT. Palmerston North, February 16. Charged with indecent assault on a male, to which he had reversed the plea he entered in the Magistrate’s Court and pleaded guilty, Charles George Wi'lmot Palmer appeared before His Honour, Mr. Justice MacGregor in tbe Supreme Court this morning for sentence. On behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Cooper stated that he had been employed as a cook in an. hotel in Feilding, where he had been accustomed to absorbing from half a bottle to a bottle of whisky a day. Counsel suggested to His Honour that reformative treatment might meet the case.
His Honour: I would not send a man like the prisoner to be the companion of the young men who are undergoing reformative treatment; he would only corrupt them. .Drink has nothing to do with the matter. I think! it is my plain duty in the interests of child protection ■to sentence the prisoner to four years’ imprisonment with hard labour.” '
